Cardinal Müller says the Church cannot be reformed by human criteria

Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller stated that the Church cannot be reformed according to human ideas because it is a reality founded by Jesus Christ.

The former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith spoke during a homily on Sunday, October 25, at the Cathedral of Saint Michael the Archangel in Poland. He presided over the closing celebration of the centenary of the Diocese of Łomża.

Müller said that true ecclesial renewal begins with personal conversion and fidelity to Christ rather than human projects. He told the faithful, particularly young people, that they should understand their belonging to the Church through faith instead of political or ideological categories.
